BRISTOL — Angel Diaz, 51, who was shot by police who were called to 119 Jacob St. in late November on reports of a possible home invasion, was arrested by state police Thursday on reckless endangerment and other charges related to the incident.

When Bristol officers arrived, Diaz confronted them with a gun, police said. When Diaz continued to approach them, officers shot him.

In addition to the reckless endangerment charges, Diaz was charged with misuse of the emergency 911 line and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
